If Txiki can't get this one across the line then we might as well just pack it in. The player clearly wants to come and the two clubs were just £5m apart in valuation, if the various independent reports are to be believed. Why is he messing about?

Time is not on our side here. Monaco are quite happy to keep him. It's not like they are suddenly going to reduce their demands. They'll quite happily wait until we're desperate and then increase the price.

Its not Txiki's £5 mill to spend, wouldnt have thought its even his job to negotiate a fee. His job as DOF I understand is to help identify and persuade the player and agents the negotiations between clubs I would expect to be dealt with by others. Thats the trouble when people look to criticise without fully understandig everyones roles.
 
Relax...it's disappointing as of now. But as long as we get some defenders in the door a week or two before Brighton we should be okay.

Considering the emphasis that is consistently put on players needing time to learn Peps positional play principles I will be a bit disappointed if we haven't signed more defenders before heading to the States.

What's txiki meant to do put a gun to the players head, the deals offered he either comes or he doesn't.
People blaming txiki is a joke

Offer the club, player and agent more money perhaps. It almost always persuades them.
Look how much the rags had to pay for Lukaku. And how much Swansea are asking for Sigurdsson.

Trying to save £5m on a £50m deal will cost us a lot more in the long term if we end up out the Champions Lge. And imagine how shit it'll be if we end up below the rags and another trophyless season. Because with our current squad we aren't going to improve on last season, and that wasn't the best one we've had.

    Not heard anything I 100% trust for about a week. Heard plenty of gossip, and it's all contradictory!

Struggling to figure out Sam Lee at the min he seems very frustrated about being asked the same things over and over and is just trying to get people to shut up
 
So far in this transfer window Monaco have been remarkably sanguine in doing business. Had Lyon, PSG, or even Marseille been faced with losing 4,5 or even 6 players in a period of 13 weeks, they would have put the shutters up weeks ago

It must be a possibility that Jardim is telling the owners that enough is enough.

Bernardo Silva gone, Fabinho almost certainly gone in the next week or two, Arsenal ready to pounce for Lemar, City looking to sign Mendy, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Liverpool sniffing around for MBappe, Chelsea looking to close on Bakayoko, the list goes on.

I suspect that the club has realized what is actually happening. The squad is in severe danger of being dismembered piece by piece and everyone from Prince Albert of Monaco, the directors, fans can see that some of these players cannot be sold.

I reckon they have raised the drawbridge on the basis that only three players will be about to leave. Mendy may well be staying put.

This, Monaco have already said they will sell Mendy for an "exceptional" offer, desperate times call for desperate offers...
